Belfast’s welterweight sensation, Lewis Crocker (18-0, 10 KOs), is gearing up for a highly anticipated match against the formidable Mexican boxer Jose Felix (40-6-1, 31 KO) at the Newforge Sports Complex on Saturday, January 27. This exciting bout will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN, drawing attention from boxing fans across the globe.

Coming off a dominant points victory over Tyrone McKenna in the “Battle of Belfast”, 26-year-old Crocker is determined to make a strong statement against Felix. This match follows his impressive performance in 2023, where he secured four wins from four fights. Trained by Billy Nelson, Crocker has remained unbeaten since his professional debut in 2017 at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall. As he eyes an active 2024, Crocker seeks to climb the ranks in the competitive 147lbs division, targeting further title opportunities.

Jose Felix from Sinaloa, Mexico, has already made a name for himself among Irish fight enthusiasts. His stunning upset victory over Gary Cully in Dublin has marked him as a serious threat in the ring. At 31, “Josesito” Felix is looking to continue his winning streak against Irish fighters.

The event promises more than just the Crocker-Felix clash. Cheavon Clarke (7-0, 5 KOs), a fast-rising cruiserweight contender, faces the biggest challenge of his career against Belfast’s former European Champion Tommy McCarthy (20-5, 10 KOs). Additionally, Belfast super-lightweight Sean McComb (18-1, 5 KOs) will aim to build on his recent victory over Sam Maxwell. The card also features Limerick welterweight Paddy Donovan (12-0, 9 KOs), Guildford lightweight prospect Giorgio Visioli (1-0, 1 KO), and Newham middleweight Leli Buttigieg (1-0, 1 KO), each seeking to make an impact in their respective fights.

Reflecting on his upcoming fight, Crocker expressed his excitement and readiness. “December 2nd was my coming out party and a real special night for me, it showed I belong in big nights here in Belfast. Now it’s about building on the back of that,” he said. Felix, embracing Ireland as his second home, also shared his enthusiasm: “I guarantee you that like a Mexican warrior, I will leave everything inside that ring. I will see you all soon.”
